Abstract

Early intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes in acute kidney injury (AKI). In children with underdeveloped kidneys, it takes longer than 24 hours for serum creatinine (sCr) to peak after AKI onset. Furthermore, even very subtle increases in sCr are associated with poor outcomes, making it more difficult to diagnose early AKI in pediatric cases.
